“Bleisure” travel – where business travellers extend their trips to include personal time – is showing no sign of slowing down as one of the top travel trends. According to recent research by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, almost 70% of young adults aged 23-35 said they have a desire to extend their work trips for leisure.
Facing early mornings and packed schedules, working parents surveyed also expressed interest in the escape business travel can provide. 88% of parents surveyed admitted they look forward to business travel, with 75% of them saying that it gives them a break from life at home.
